York faculty member, Dr. Stephen Johnson, just received an invitation to return, for the 3rd year in a row, as the Exam Leader for the Annual AP Spanish Literature & Culture Reading. It is an intense 12 days of challenging work, and an honor to train, interact with, and learn from Spanish college professors and high school instructors from around the country and abroad. At the reading, he is responsible for overseeing the training of 5 Question Leaders, some 20 Table Leaders, and over 150 high school and university faculty readers, guiding them to carefully assess free response questions on the AP exam while also preparing and editing narrative commentaries on sample student responses that illustrate each of the different possible score points.

Dr J regards his work with the College Board as valuable professional growth. Specifically, he is the teacher of both York Advanced Studies (YAS) Spanish IV and YAS Spanish V, two courses distinctive to York that go above and beyond the college board's AP program and are aligned with York's mission to inspire and prepare students.
